Asynchronous Generators (Part 2 of 2)

During this lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, viewers will learn about the mechanical and electrical characteristics of asynchronous or induction generators. The video discusses how to create an asynchronous generator from a standard induction motor. The video explores various scenarios of increasing rotor speeds, showing the changes in mechanical and electrical properties, such as counter torque, phase shift, and power consumption. The application of using asynchronous generators in certain scenarios when disconnected from the grid is also touched on.

This video runs 26:00 minutes in length. The first part of this lecture is available to view separately.
